Comp Plan Review SPRING IS HERE! (FINALLY)
Begins Amid Controversy
By Dick Myers
Editor SPRING IS HERE! (FINALLY)
“As far as I am concerned, they
are running things.” That’s how SPRING IS HERE! (FINALLY)
Calvert County Director of Plan-
ning and Zoning Mark Willis de-
scribes three of the former mem-
bers of his department’s staff who
have been the most vocal critics
of the comprehensive plan update
process.
One of those critics is former
department head Greg Bowen.
He has been leading the opposi-
tion through the group known as
Keep Calvert Country and has
been posting blogs on their web- Driving Range, Par-3 Course, and 9 Hole Regulation Course

United Way of Calvert County is thrilled to bring
back the Southern Maryland Balloon Festival for its
second year! This year’s event will be July 14 at Jeffer-
son Patterson Park and Museum in St. Leonard.
United Way will be bringing back favorites like teth-
ered balloon rides, the walkabout balloon, Maryland
food truck vendors, and live bands. There will also be a
few exciting additions like artisan vendors, Junior Bal-
loonist STEM Demonstrations, and an expanded KID-
ZONE with interactive booths from local community
groups.
Also new this year will be the opportunity to make a
reservation for an early morning tethered balloon ride
before the festival gets underway!  This is a completely
separate experience from the festival itself with only a
limited number of tickets available. We will also have
tethered balloon rides available the afternoon of the
festival on a first-come, first-serve basis for an addition-
al fee. For festival tickets go to https://www.somdbal-

United Way hopes that you’ll join them on July 14th at
